The primary cause of the district’s problems, grossly oversimplified but roughly true: MN state funding changed in the 2000s in ways that — by design! — punished districts with more immigrants, more charter schools, more students of color. We are now ~20 years into systemic underfunding.

The most recent legislative session marked a big shift in a better direction, but that funding is (1) at least a decade late, (2) not equal to what was lost, and (3) only just now starting to arrive.
